Lag when Carbonite is EnAbled
 

hi . i am new here so in that i am a Noob so try not to be to unhappy with my post . i had to disable Carbonite cause it was causeing major lag. i went in disable every add on i have and re'enable one at a time with in i say the 3rd add on which was Carbonite the lag was so bad could not move my fps drop from 96 fps to under 4 fps . all i can think is into Carbonite gets a update i cant use it at all. anyone have any ideas for a fix or am i better off waiting for a newer version of Carbonite to fix it . thanks for any help .

You didn't post what version of Carbonite, and what version of WoW, you are using. That being said, you can get the latest version of Carbonite HERE which is OK for Legion pre-patch. (Sorry about the confusion the "bad" link caused. It's fixed now.) :o

Wait, whoa....the DEV version is OK for you?....cause it's horribly broken for me. I'm using it in both beta and live and neither is liking it. The errors are so numerous in the beta client that my chat window is pretty much an unreadable blur of carbonite errors, mostly for GetPos. Some locations are kind of ok, others are horrid, particularly the class hall.

On live, it's slightly better, but still significant issues. Quest objectives for old content no longer show correctly on the map, which defeats the point for me.

On live client with DEV, I get the following from bug sack:

3x Carbonite\NxMap.lua:4102: Usage: GetGarrisonInfo(garrisonType)
[C]: in function `GetGarrisonInfo'
Carbonite\NxMap.lua:4102: in function `UpdateWorld'
Carbonite\NxMap.lua:4138: in function `Update'
Carbonite\NxMap.lua:3792: in function <Carbonite\NxMap.lua:3707>

Locals:

I will try to get on beta later and post what I can, but I suspect it's mostly the same as my previous posts. I hope I don't sound negative or rude, etc....I just want to help but have gotten little response so far and don't really know what to do at this point. Love this add-on and hoping there's enough time to sort all this out before launch!

Dev version should work on Live as of this moment without further errors.... of course i'm jinxing myself saying that.

For Beta, yes it will be broken, especially class halls... I need a copy of the error it's spamming you so I can add the zones :) Priest is the only one I've done so far.

Rythal you BEAST!!!!! this was the ONLY thing stopping me from being able to play properly!!!!! MUCH LOVE! :banana:

Is there a certain way to cut and paste the errors from chat window?...Those messages are different than what bugsack has and I can't seem to figure out how to do that.

I don't need the whole message, tho a chat addon like Prat is useful for that...

When your getting spammed, it's just one number that I need :)

So if it's saying GetPos Err:1077 then 1077 is what I need
Same with IdToCont Err 1077

The number points to the map that is missing :)

That link doesn't work :)

This is the link you want:

https://github.com/Rythal/Carbonite/archive/master.zip

Oh you don't know how much I love you and Rythal right now lol :banana:

Yeah, I just found out about the Dev version being "canceled" on the Github site. Sorry 'bout that. I'll fix the link in the post. :o

EDIT : FIXED! /EDIT

Yay for flightpoints working again!

Here are a few location for ya Rythal...

GetPos Err: 1080 = Thunder Totem (Highmountain)
GetPos Err: 1048 = Emerald Dreamway
GetPos Err: 1077 = The Dreamgrove (Druid Order Hall)

Still having issues with where quests dots are appearing on the map. See attached screenshot...as you can see, I am in Dalaran and there are several quests showing. This is immediately after a /reload ui. Unfortunately those are all in Highmountain. You can see the same pattern of quest dots in the next pic of Highmountain where there are still a lot of green areas.

I frequently have an issue where if I zoom in/out, part of the map gets 'stuck'. The quest points don't move in proportion and are, instead, stationary. Anyone else experience this?

Major Garrison Lag
 

Like others in this thread, I've got major lag, but only in the garrison. Everywhere else in Azeroth is fine.

The day of the initial patch (Tuesday) everything was fine and worked properly.

Wednesday I couldn't play because of RL issues.

Thursday when I logged in I had really bad lag, with FPS of only 2.

After pulling out half of my remaining hair on Thursday, Today (Friday) I tried disabling all the addys, then one by one activating them and logging back in. As soon as I disabled Carbonite, no lag! I disabled everything except Carbonite, and still got the lag.

Per instructions above, I got v6.2 from Github, removed all the Carbonite files from the interface\addons folder, then unzipped the new Carbonite. I then double checked the file tree structure as outlined above, and everything was correct. When I log in and view addons, it shows Carbonite v6.2.

My Battlenet ver is 7.0.3.22293. DxDiag shows no errors. I'm running Win 7 Pro x64 on a custom build machine, i5 quad core 3.60gb, 8 gb memory, nVidia GForce Crossfire with 2gb memory, More than 7tb disk space. All drivers are UTD. I've reset ingame system to recommended status.

Any suggestion on a fix, or maybe something that I neglected?

On a side note, I've been using Carbonite since '09, and it is the greatest addy bar none. I remember in MoP where the original owners neglected upgrades, and you picked up the ball and ran with it. It was very frustrating because I had to relearn much of the games interface, and hated it! But you did a fantastic job of keeping it going, and I don't think you're appreciated enough for all the hours you spend just to keep Carbonite available for everyone.

So thank Rythal for your dedication, commitment and hard work!

I dont know which version of Carbionite do you use. Cant help u without this information, but u can try download latest version with latest fixes from link in my signature.

If this isn't the version number you're looking for, I'm lost and need specifics.

GetPos Err: 1068 = Mage Order Hall :D

Some of the modules haven't been fully updated, so Rythal didn't update the .toc files. So, until all the files have been updated the version number will remain v6.2.

So it's all good, and Carbonite should still run correctly regardless of the version number as long as you have WoW set to load "out-of-date" addons so the v6.2 modules will load for you in-game.

I hope this answers your question correctly.

1075 = phased scenario - Throne of Tides
1057 = Maelstrom (Shaman Order Hall)
1044 = The Wandering Isle/Temple of Five Dawns (Monk Order Hall)
1059 = phased scenario - Terrace of Endless Spring
more to come... :D


Also, I noticed when there is a usable quest item, I actually have to open my bags to use it rather than use the little icon on the quest watch list. No longer works like it used to.

Partially answered
 

Thanks for your response JW. However, that just partially answers my issue. Everything is working fine, as far as I can see - with the exception of garrison. For some reason the garrison lag is horrendous, with my FPS at 2 or 3. Once I leave the garrison however, it's fine. Just seems weird that the garrison is the only piece that is affected. Of course, in about 6 weeks, that isn't gonna mean much, since we won't be using the garrison anymore.
So, you're saying that we just have v6.2 to work with for the time being and any issues related to Carbonite to wait until fixes are implemented?

There are fixes made on github every day so u should download new versions from there when u see new commit.

One thing that made my garrison low fps was when i got mining profesion and enabled showing nodes on mini map, maybe u got the same problem? I did disabled them and then got normal fps.

Another thing is: does your wow popup some errors? Maybe there is another addon that conflicts with carbonite. U should disable all and check wow with only carbonite enabled and then report any errors to us. This way we can find better solution for your problem.

1047 - Niskara - Scenario for Holy Priest weapon
1032 - Vault of the Wardens (Demon Hunter)
1054 - Violet Hold Demon Hunter Scenario
1052 - The Fel Hammer (Demon Hunter Order Hall)

Some demon hunter quests show up in the quest log but not in the watch list, even though they are selected in the log. Bonus task in starting area is not tracking correctly...not showing percentage. Once I finished the bonus task, the quests showed up normally.

Assault on Mardum
Enter the Illidari: Coilskar
Eye on the Prize
Set Them Free

You're welcome.

Yes, and as ircdirk suggests, update Carbonite when you see new commits on Github.

For me, my garrison has always caused fps issues on my system. I also get serious lag in high populated areas like Dalaran for example and areas where there are a lot of active graphics like dungeons, raids, and Ashran. Hopefully when I finish refurbishing my desktop, a lot of that will go away since my laptop only has a 1.7GHz cpu and a crappy on board graphics card with minimal HD functionality. :eek:

All the best to you. :)

I finally remembered to save the link to GITHUB im such a nooob lol.... Rythal thank you soo soooo very much for Carbonite I hadnt really played since patch day cause I was waiting on the update from Curse..... Thank you sooo much again!!!

GetPos Err. 1099 - Ravencrest's Legacy (Scenario in Black Rook Hold)

Thanks for the reports.. and they are not being ignored, i'm just having one of those weeks from hell which has made it hard to code...or even type lol

Fractured my wrist so one hand /arm is out of commission.. hoping the pain levels will be down enough I can concentrate and sit in the next few days.

while fracture is normal, it's week from hell because my other arm is covered in scrapes and scabs, both legs hurt to walk... combined with catching strep while I was in the hospital, and smashing a 2 week old cell phone into an unsuable state.

Sorry to hear mate. Take care of yourself and heal up. As much as we love Carbonite and your work on it, RL comes first and that has to always be a priority.

Still Lagging
 

Hey guys, I hate to be a PITA about this, but I don't know if it's something I'm doing, not doing, or just plain screwing up on.

I've downloaded the latest file from Github and unzipped it in the addon directory. I even removed all Carbonite files and reinstalled it. I even went as far as to do the repair of deleting the WTF, Interface & Cache files.

I've unchecked all addons and do them one at a time, logging in after each one. My FPS is 110 to 120 each time.

Yet, when I load Carbonite, my FPS drops to 2-3, and it's so lag/jerky that it's unbearable!

The strangest part about all this is that it ONLY happens when I am in my garrison. Once I leave my garrison, it clears up. Everyplace else is good - Ashran, Lions Den, SW, Dal, IF, Shatt. ONLY garrison is impacted.

If it weren't for the fact of trying to herb & mine, I would just set my hearth to Ashran. But in doing that I miss out on several things offered only by my garrison.

Can someone out there please help me?

I've had lag in the garrison mainly when displaying mine/herb nodes. Similar issues in MoP, mainly Valley of the Four Winds around Halfhill. I've gotten in the habit of turning off tracking unless I'm actively gathering. Plus it's not like the garrison nodes move around or spawn more than once per day.

Once in a while I'll still get lag in the garrison without tracking, but that usually clears up by closing and reopening the map/minimap or flying out and back in to the garrison. Zone transitions have been doing weird things for as long as I've been playing WoW.

As for raid lag, I'm thinking about the built-in feature that lets you change graphics detail when in raids/dungeons. I had horrible lag on heroic HFC when I got my moose (#FriendshipMoose is the best!).

I was able to fix my lag issue by disabling Lightheaded.

Sorry to here of your injuries and hope you get better soon. Rest, heal, and we'll see you back in action when you're ready. :)

Everyone with and without Carbonite experiences steep drops in FPS in their garrisons now and then. For me, when that happens, I just exit the game and log back in which sometimes improves my fps. Reloading or logging off and back on can help with many issues related to addon or Blizz issues. It goes back to an old tech support question usually asked first, "Did you turn it off and then back on again?". It's interesting how even in this day that first step in troubleshooting computer issues can still solve or confirm problems with hardware, software, and in some cases operator error problems.

Also, since Blizzard changed the way they render graphics including adding more setting levels, it would be a good idea to check yours and try lowering some of your settings below recommended settings. With my laptop that I continue to disparage for its inadequate specs, doing that helped me a lot giving me as high fps as 15 in my garrison. On average I get 7 fps in my garrison and better everywhere else. A good tip when loading into your garrison after logon or hearthing is to wait (at least 10-15 secs) for everything to load before doing anything.

Finally, I am confident that your posts in this and other threads complaining about the same issue over and over has made it abundantly clear that you have an issue that you blame on Carbonite. Some of us have even replied, giving you tried and true advice for improving your fps. So I would suggest you now sit back and wait to see if a future update from Blizz or Carbonite might improve your fps issues on your system. Good luck, and I hope you eventually get your problem fixed.

Sorry to hear what you're going through! Get well soon :)

Here's another GetPos Err...1082 = Ursoc's Lair (Scenario for druid tank weapon)

The Nighthold (Raid) 1088

Please Read In Entirety BEFORE Any Responses
 

Yeah, that's my only option at the moment. I keep trying to explain the issue and no one seems to understand. I've been playing WoW for more than 7 years, and know that with each expansion and major patch update there is always lags in major cities. I also know about reloading, as well as the repair tool.

One thing that everyone seems to overlook is that this ONLY happens in the garrison...Now Ashran, SW, IF, DAL or anyplace else, JUST the garrison. Once I leave the garrison area, everything is great and my FPS bumps up to 140+/-. Everyone also seems to overlook that I have removed ALL addys, then loading one at a time, and logging in after the one is loaded, and check the FPS, then log out and load another, rinse/repeat. I have even gone as far as to REMOVE all addys completely, reinstalling each one at a time, checking for lag, then install another, rinse/repeat. In all cases, everything is fine until I load Carbonite, and again, only when I am in my garrison. I've checked all my system and video settings, and although they are recommended as the highest level for my system, I set most of them to one level lower, a couple that are more intensive to 2 levels lower. Although my system (desktop PC, not Mac or laptop) is not an extreme gaming system, it is very high end. I keep all drivers updated and clean junk & malware regularly. So I don't see how this could be anything except a Carbonite issue.

I'm not trying to PO anyone, and it was only because I wanted to report a possible issue to help others that I even reported it. While I do appreciate those who gave advice and tried to help, I just wish that someone would read the entire issue and my attempts at resolution before making suggestions I have already tried and making me out to know know what I'm talking about.

I don't expect Rythal to jump at every little issue, and know that he has a life beyond the exceptional work that he has done since taking ownership of Carbonite. I just ask for anticipated resolution ETAs, and report issues that no o.ne else has reported.

I'll sit back and wait for Legion to pop and see if the problem resolves itself or still is confined to garrisons, which will no longer be used. I waited and used alternatives for over a year in MoP for Carbonite updates, so I can wait again if need be.

Thanks:confused::mad:

The issue crops up not just with increased lag, if you use the map while in the garrison funny things can happen like icons not resizing or moving.. You don't even need to be in the garrison, just having the map display the garrison area on the map triggers it.

I have not had the issue happen anywhere but garrisons, nor have I seen it happen in Legion area's so it hasn't been a high priority for fixing... it is definitely known and will be looked into however.

Age of Dinosauers
 

Thanks Rythal. At least someone read the post to see what I was saying!:banana: I'll try loading Carbonite while in my garrison and open the map to see what transpires. Ordinarily I have no need for the map in my garrison so I never open it while there. My icons and frames are all ok...it's just you plain ole everyday lag. Try to turn around and it takes 2 days to make an about face!:cool: (Exaggerated, but you get what I mean)

That being said, Legion comes out in 27 days. I have a cadre of level 100 toons so will be to busy leveling them in Legion to give birth to another and go thru the garrison again. So unless you get others with the same issue, just chalk it up to gremlins in mine and don't knock yourself out over it. I'd much rather be assured that Legion will work with no issues with Carbonite, than to fix a "rare" issue in a specific area that I most likely will not go to again.

Thanks for your understanding.

GetPos Err 1086 = Malorne's Nightmare

Hope you'll doing better Rythal :)

Would just like to add my agree to this. I was getting horrible lag when I installed the new folders. When I took out Lightheaded, it cleared up and now I'm good.

FPS Drop
 

I'm having the same issue... FPS drops to 1 or 2 when I load Carbonite so its some what encouraging to see others having the same challenge. This happens in Garrison but I haven't tried anywhere else. I'm running the latest version as distributed by Curse.com. I'll check lightheaded as suggested.

The Curse release is out of date you should be using the one from the Git. Others have the link in there post or can supply it here.

The latest version of Carbonite can be downloaded from https://github.com/Rythal/Carbonite/archive/master.zip

Finally Working!
 

Ok, don't know if Rythal did a tweak, or if I found the issue...but Carbonite now works great in my garrison with NO lag!!!

I noticed that one of the posters said the version used in Curse was not a good copy, and to use only the one from github. So, I deleted all the Carbonite folders from Interface/Addons, unzipped the latest version from github, copied the folders in the Carbonite Master to Addons folder. When I logged in to WoW, I tested it on 5 characters - and it was working beautifully!

I noticed that the version showing from Carbonite is v 7.0.3, while the version from github is 7.0.0. Not sure where the extra update to v7 came from in Curse, but it obviously is what was causing my problems.

Thanks guys for your patience with me on this.

Lag
 

I found the lag issue in the Garrison seem to get better when I stopped loading Carbonite Quests

There is setting in Carbonite Quest module that effects performance, set this value to higher then LAG should get lower:

That doesn't really affect FPS much. Not in my experience, at least.

I usually keep the Carbonite map open on the left side of my screen. If I close it by clicking the Carbonite minimap button, the FPS stutter immediately disappears. I don't have to disable any part of the addon.

Hope that may help as well.

Edit: Just to add some info, I'm using v7.3

That setting didn't do anything for me. With no addons but Carbonite (without the quest module) enabled I am around 80-90fps, as soon as I enable the Quest module I drop to 50-53fps.

FPS stays around the same even with all other addons enabled. It's only the quest module that is causing the massive loss (at least for me).

If you load the latest from github it should be fixed, or so people are reporting. It's not on curse/wowI yet as I need to finish adding world quests, right now in this version they don't display any longer on the map.

Sounds great. Will check it out now.


Thanks for all the hard work.

New problem now...game will not play with Carbonite Quests enabled. Can't finish logging in, the game just freezes upon entering the world. Tried reinstalling Carb for the latest github entry, different accounts, different toons, different computers, no addons but carbonite enabled, deleted all settings, reinstalled wtf and interface folders, etc...the whole nine yards. Seems I'm not the only person having this problem unfortunately.

Try using Carb from this link https://github.com/mikepauer/Carboni...3abd3a29ce.zip this is before latest Rythal commit with makes some kind of problems and need to be fixed. This version loads good for me.

wow client crash
 

I've downloaded newest carbonite rep from github (13.09 9:03 AM GMT) and as soon as i log in to the game the game client freezes. I have to disable carbonite on character screen then log in to the game and then enable it to make it running. I've done some research and look like carbonite quest module causing it (game load fine with quest module off). I've disabled all addons and left carbonite only to make sure it's not caused by other addon. So the only option to make game client load without freeze is to disable quest module and load it after you in the game.

ed1: Funny thing it not happening on my alt i had just started legion. I was in old continent when logged in and no freeze at all. So i've checked another toon with legion experience but on early stage and i've got no problems on that toon either. The only one with freezes seem to be the one witch has world quests unlocked.

Game Client Freezes on Logon
 

I am having the issue where if Carbonite is enabled on logging into a character the game client freezes. If I disable Carbonite Quests, all works fine.

Carbonite 7.3 B118

That's the verision I was using before that was causing the massive FPS loss (which I ended up disabling to play).

For the time being I am back to not using the quest module.

Thanks for your assistance though.

Nope thats version with FPS fix, but before WoW freeze commit.

Issue resolved. Download latest version from GitHub (link in my signature) and please confirm if it works for u.

So far so good. Even with all addons enabled I'm averaging 90fps. Great work!

I downloaded the latest version now I have to reloadui to get the quest list to refresh. New quests don't show and existing quests are not updated. For example 9/15 Naval Mission complete, complete 3 it still says 9/15, after a reloadui it says 12/15. As far as quests not showing I was on some Order Hall quests for my Monk. I would accept the next quest and it would not show in the quest list until a reloadui.

This is issue that we know of already... please wait for fix.

It look like its working ok now ty

You know, the odd thing is that I hadn't updated and it seemed to go away. I'll update anyway, of course, but I'll keep an eye out for anything else.

On a side note, I noticed that the Legion flight path to Dalaran links to the Northrend Dalaran. Would you like a separate post, Rythal?

Recent github version of Carb is litte buggy (quests doesnt record to quest log, read here: https://github.com/mikepauer/Carbonite/issues/507).

For Flight Path better make issue on GitHub then separate thread here :)
